Black Isle's closure is a sad end for the once-great developer. BIS had a hand in some of the most acclaimed PC RPGs of the late 1990s, including the Fallout and Baldur's Gate series.

I believe Bioware was the publisher of BG2, not the developer.

Going by the credits in the BG2 manual, it looks like Black Isle Produced it, Interplay published it, and Bioware developed it. I believe that Black Isle was responsible for the infinity engine, but I could be mistaken. Bioware has all the BG games listed at their website as well, which is a bit of a further indication.

I'm just glad that the Fallout license has been picked up by somebody, even if it is Bethesda, as I'd rather see development work be done on it than have it sit in an unknown filing cabinet in some unknown location in Seattle like the rights for Betrayal at Krondor.
